Editor's Note:The Charles River Path is in two sections. Unfortunately, the only connection between them now requires either fording streams and marshes or trespassing on private property. The Conservators supports action by the City of Newton and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to close this gap, permitting a continuous walk from Nahanton Park to Millennium Park.
The walk begins at the end of Saw Mill Brook Parkway. From Dedham Street, turn onto Wiswall Road and proceed to the end. Turn left one block to Saw Mill Brook Parkway. Park on the street. Walk to where the road ends, at the entrance to the Charles River Path.
Walk straight ahead as you enter the park. Follow the path for a while, as it turns right and then approaches a soccer field. Turn left into the woods before you reach the soccer field.
Continue straight through a "T" intersection.
Keep right at a fork.
The path reaches the Charles River.
Retrace your steps to where you first entered the park.
